WE live in an age of surprises — of surprising recoveries, no less than of surprising inventions. Not to go further back than the last ten years, our knowledge of the early literature of Christianity has been enriched beyond all expectation. In 1883 the Greek Bishop Bryennius gave us the 'Teaching of the Apostles ; ' and in 1891 Mr Rendel Harris gave us the 'Apology of Aristides.' We knew the fame of both of them with our ears, and when at last we saw them we found that all the time they had both been lurking among us in disguise.
